“It’s an amazing story – one day he was in the kennels, and now he’s a fully-fledged police dog,” Moss told Metro News.

Cooper bonded with Moss, his partner, and their kids for another month before joining the police force as a police dog. When he became part of the force, he was one of the first Staffordshire Bull Terriers in the UK to become a police dog, and the first in his town of Staffordshire.

Moss is not ignorant to this. “When I’m walking Cooper people tend to cross to the opposite side [of the street],” he said.

But that doesn’t stop Cooper from living his best life as a police dog, and with his new family. “I can say with PD Cooper he is very keen to learn and eager to please, he has a very high ball drive, and is very energetic,” said Moss. He continued, “We have an incredible bond.”
